"Optimistic Incisions" was featured as a poem in the "Best Documentary" Award winning movie, "Addicted: The Universal Language of Music" and has performed at everything from weddings * birthdays to touring college open mics as a host and opening for bands at concerts and festivals with 15,000+ in attendance. Intimate evenings or loud lovely events, he's like air...he can fit anywhere. He also tours schools and college campuses solo sharing with students the power of poetry and writing out their stories to help live their lives more fully, to understand each other better as people. Doing a massive poetry project through YouTube to not only get on the Ellen show, but simply for the world to realize how beautiful and powerful it already is. He also tours with a band called, "The Ki" which means "energy" in Japanese. Ambient, eclectic, pop grooves, and jazzy all at once while provoking inspiration, self-actualization, and head nodding.
